The DSSAT Foundation, in collaboration with Washington State University,
the University of Florida, the International Fertilizer Development
Center, the University of Georgia, and various other institutions, will
host a Training Program on DSSAT entitled DSSAT 2013 - "Assessing Crop
Production, Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and Environmental
Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 20 through May 25, 2013
at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, USA. The
overall goal of the workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants
with the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and
the Cropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and
yield, soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics, and the
application of models to real world problems, such as crop and resource
management, climate change and climate variability, carbon
sequestration, food security, biofuels, and environmental sustainability.
